Another extra ordinarily good video. No bells and whistles, just great footage, skills and irrepressible enthusiasm. Once again, thank you Tristan.

[@TenkaraAddict]

Thanks for the kind words!

[@gailasbury9978]

Poop Report: In the spring when forage is higher moisture content the moose droppings come forth in glorious globs instead of individual pellets. 🤔

[@ak_lonewolf715]

I second this.

[@bradsmith1451]

This one was especially good! I echo how enjoyable it was to hear YOUR excitement. Don't have grizzlies in the smokies...just black bears which are not uncommon to encounter. Have you ever come upon a grizzly? You're really out there at times.

[@riverrunner23]

Talk about a honey hole.That was magical. Great day to be alive. Thanks for sharing your trip in beautiful country.

[@TenkaraAddict]

Right?? Such a great place to fish. Thanks for watching!

[@llorylloyd]

Thanks for taking us along. What a beautiful place to fish. ❤

[@jaysmallen3067]

I don't know what was more exciting. Your excitement or the fishing itself lol!! I'm going to go with your excitement! Congratulations on such an amazing day on the water Tristan 🙌🏻. And thanks again for bringing us along on your adventures 🙏🏻🤙🏻😁

[@TheFishingNomad]

Now that is a nice hole. Not only the number of fish, but the species variety and the size of the fish was great.

[@SuperDaveP270]

12:50 Wow, that is amazing---such great fish, great fishing, and THAT VIEW! What a day that must have been

[@EikmSweno]

All hangin' out together in the same hole?? Wowzers indeed!

Nice haul !

7:12 - nice catch!

[@jamesgaul3544]

Great video, Tristan. Thanks!!!

[@SRockwell]

Love grayling...used to have them here in Idaho but not anymore. Many good memories catching them in the 80s.

[@-gdub-]

The FoxFire has become my favorite rod. Great video, as usual!

[@woodycarr]

Same pool! That was awesome!

[@jimberry4871]

Brook Trout are so beautiful!

[@luisfigueroa3300]

Great catching and great location. I’ve been viewing your videos for a very long time and it seems that no matter what fly you use you catch fish. Congratulations on a great trip. You deserve it. 😊

[@bywilz7436]

Great video, really enjoyed watching this and your others. Thanks for posting and showing what can be accomplished. You’ve definitely helped me and my wife grow an interest in Tenkara and we’re trying it now and learning with moderate success so far. We’re waiting for the stream season to open again in Oregon soon to get out some more. A question I have is are your hookups mainly by sight or feel? Or both?

Thanks Bill!

Great day, for sure! Thanks for watching.

Absolutely amazing!!!! Hope i can make a trip out there one day.

Nice freshwater sailfish! A fish that has so far eluded my life list! Poop looks kinda like some elk leavins I’ve seen? Bear maybe? Great vid!

That's why its called the "WIND" River Range.

That was the best episode yet❤

[@hooperbloop7625]

Beautiful creek.

Maybe Bear Poop! But your infectious whoops of enthusiasm scared him off I'm sure. Nice catches! Best video so far? (and it wouldn't be Wyoming without wind....)

Thank you!

Just signed up for your website. Great resource! I live in N. UT and always looking for new and obscure campsites. Also getting back into fly fishing so looking forward to checking out some of your spots as well.

[@TenkaraAddict]

Thanks, I appreciate it!

[@adventurefj819]

@@TenkaraAddict You bet man! Hoping to see you along the way at some point. That would be cool!

[@Sunstepa]

You got the smart watch and a smart band. The smart band looks like mi band x. 😁

[@TenkaraAddict]

The watch on my left wrist is a dumb watch (Casio DB-36, which I love). The band on the right is the Amazfit Band 5, which is the same thing as one of the Mi Bands, but I don't remember which one.

[@mwevre1876]

Amazing! What color is your level line? What footwear do you use? Does it work for hiking and then not slipping on rocks/moss?

[@blueridgeflyguy9551]

Tristan, best pool ever

[@TenkaraAddict]

Agreed!

[@brian1204]

Wow! What a pool! They are clearly hungry from the long winter! Two species (golden and grayling) I have yet to catch! The sizes for that creek are also amazing! Also, can you post a pic of the fly? Thx!

[@calvinvesco9883]

Description says it was filmed in Aug 2023. So not hungry from a long winter!

There's a pic of the fly included in the video 👍

[@danpozzobon5478]

Hi. Great video. I am front Ontario Canada and planning to start tenkara fishing for brook trout in the many streams we are blessed to have here! I am confused about the set up of the tenkara line. I have done the research and I see numerous recommendations to have a total line length of the rod length. I currently have a 12 foot rod, and the recommendations are to have a 2/3 of 12 feet, therefore 8 feet of 3.5x level line plus four foot of 5x leader. Does this set-up sound reasonable? I appreciate your insights on this. Dan.

[@TenkaraAddict]

My level lines are always more or less the length of the rod. And that's referring to the level line, not the line plus tippet. So in your situation, I'd have a 12 ft level line and 3 ft of tippet. 8 ft of level line is too short for a 12 ft rod.

[@lawrences2118]

That looked like pretty native brook or cut throat trout not a golden rainbow not even close but was pretty my guy!😊

[@jimmymani]

Brook are not native to that part of the country. A golden trout and a golden rainbow trout (also called a palomino trout) are two different trout.

[@scottbaker2495]

Looks like the wind river range

[@LJHowardPhoto]

Moose poop looks like a collection of brown golf balls scattered on the ground. That looked like bear poop to me. What sort of large animals inhabit the area? I've never seen golden trout before. Thanks.

[@markphinney3152]

see above comment on consistency of summertime moose poop

[@AntonyCabanac]

Check out this book. Changed the game for me on Trout Flyfishing. Reading the Water by David Hughes.

[@Jim19826301]

That was Bear poop!

[@outdoorwilderness5299]

There are a lot of creek where I live buy also here is also bear area. So ı am afraid of going alone. As I see you are always alone . I am sure you carry bear spray but is it enough to save your life in case of any encounter ? Do you feel completely safe in these areas against bears ?

[@MnAnnetteNS]

Got to love Fishing!

[@JohnCallender]

Wow! What a jam-packed 30 minutes of fishing! Thanks for sharing it. According to my spreadsheet this is the 11th video in which you fished the FoxFire.

[@TenkaraAddict]

You keep a spreadsheet?! That's amazing. Send it to me if you can. There's a contact form here: suvrving.com/contact/. If you need to send it as an attachment, I'll reply to that message, and you can send it to that email address.

WHAT??!!

Giant pizza for that poor starving goldi trout

[@MostlyTenkara]

Bear poop for sure. What a pool!

[@EngGuy63]

Nice bear poop

[@jamesgaul3544]

If I were you I would pack a 367 while out there in bear territory.

[@tracyward9312]

I believe that was elk 💩

[@kirkdavis2881]

Those poor fish need some food.

[@ronaldkulas5748]

I normally think that golden trout are not that beautiful. But the goldens you caught here were extraordinary IMO.

[@TheKrisg50]

Bear poop pretty sure.

[@MrSofthackle]

Looks like fairly fresh bear poop. Be very aware of your surroundings.

[@jayejaye1543]

Those were just brook trout. Golden trout are rainbows with albinism. They don’t have dark dorsal patterns. They can’t produce dark pigment. They were very cool fish though!

[@jimmycot1]

Wrong

[@briancooper2737]

So... could you share the GPS coordinates for that creek? 😁
